As one of the participants of the prayer Tatsyana
Zyanko said, people came up to the Zero kilometer sign on October
Square, but before they started the prayer, the unknown in mufti come
running up to them and started to push the protesters into a bus which
arrived. The people in mufti were headed by Minsk police Chief Ihar
Yauseeu. They refused to present themselves and explain the reason for
detention. The detained are kept in the police department of the Central
district of Minsk.

Public activists and believers hold daily prayers
in October Square in solidarity with political prisoners. Then
participants of the rally walk the way from October Square to
Independence Square and finish the prayer near the Red Church.

Recently special services’ representatives had been
watching the course of the prayer like hawks. The day before the head
of the police department of Tsentralny district of Minsk Radzevich came
up to the participants and ordered to stop “this farce” forever. He said
“people should go and watch circus at the circus, and pray in a
church.” In their turn participants of the street prayer state that they
are going to continue their prayer meetings.
